Hi Paul
I'm no expert on North American birds (or Australian birds for that
matter) but it's possibly a Solitary Sandpiper.
Here's a couple of links I found - the second one even has a photo taken
in Michigan!

http://bna.birds.cornell.edu/bna/species/156/articles/introduction
(Could be completely wrong, of course)
Cheers
Brian

Thanks. The Solitary Sandpiper looks like a match. Although according
to the Cornell map, he would be about 400 miles too far south. They
show the Sandpipers only in the upper peninsula of Michigan. But he
might be migrating and just stopped in to visit the Egret:-).

I just swallowed & it went down the wrong pipe.
So how is everyone? It's been very quiet here abouts.

Well, I kept the apt for head & feet and afterwards started to drive to
Calumet Photo. I got about a 1/3 of the way there, then turned around and
headed home. I went straight to the computer and opened Lightroom to see
just how many shots I have shot at 35 mm on the DA 16 - 45mm f4. Well, it
was a lot less than I expected---but today I'm going out & I'm going to set
the zoom at 35mm & only shoot at this focal length. When I want to travel
ultra light, I usually put the FA 50mm f1.4 on the K10D--but it's often the
case that I'm walking around, see something, bring the camera to the left of
my nose, then discover I'm way too close for the lens, then have to scurry
back several steps--and sometimes way more than that.
Also, I really want a 2nd body: if my K10D tanked, I'd like a back-up & I'd
absolutely love to have 2 bodies in grab & shoot readiness for both
telephoto & wide angle work when shooting. Gosh, as I write this, I think I
should focus on the body, especially given a long term project I'm working
on: the construction of indoor parking and a new building where I work.
The construction will go on for 18 months. I've been introduced to the
construction project manager & there's a good chance I can get on the
construction site itself to shoot. I think I just talked myself into a new
body--heck, in more ways than one: I went golfing yesterday, which in
itself proved I needed a new body; I am so f*****g out of shape it's
disgusting, but at least I didn't end up knee deep in some boggy mud like my
brother did looking for a lost ball. Needless to say, golfing was a
disaster yesterday. Well, I think I'm back where I started yesterday. I
took care of the feet & head--now there's the long project of working on the
part in the middle--the body. ;-) Cheers, Christine

since you asked.... :-))
kind of busy with planning a 1000-km ride (up and down) this weekend to
a place called Belum (largest underground stalagmite and stalactite cave
in asia) to meet up with a couple biking buddies of mine...who are
riding down from bangalore...
and of course there's a pentax angle to it too. ;-) one of these guys
has just come down from the US (he is with Oracle or something) so i
kind of used the opportunity and asked him to get me the FA 35/2 from
adorama. so basically the ride is to get the lens and indulge in a bit
of biker bonding... ;-)
so, how are things down under dave? hope everything's well? :-)
regards, subash
p.s.: i am of course taking the k10d and the 16-45. will post some if i
manage to get some good/not-too-bad ones....

Christine,
You should try a manual focus 28mm lens.
Shoot with it for a while to see how you like it.
The wider angle on digital gets close to a normal lens on film.
I've been using the 31mm Limited more than the DA16-45/4.
(Problem with the zoom is it goes to one extreem or the other.)
Regards, Bob S.

Well, most of them anyway.
This weekend I walked with a friend from the source of the Thames to
Lechlade, about 25 miles (40km). We spread the walk over 2 days, and
he is now continuing by kayak to Greenwich, where he expects to arrive
on Sunday next with the ebbing tide.
Here are some of the pictures from the weekend:

The source itself is the very dry stone monument, picture 4. Picture 7
shows Lyd Well, which is where the water first flows permanently, a
few hundred yards from the source. It is, however, a well not a
spring. I think the Romans dug it. The cows seem to too.

Hi Christine,
Chiming in here to ditto what Bob said about using a 28mm. Oftentimes
for me, the 50mm is too close for what I want. I switch out to the FA
28/2.8 - for me, this is a light weight, compact set-up, especially on
the istDS. If I really have to bring one small lens, this is it.
Try it out, you might really like it too.

That's an indication that you're using the wrong lens, and
need to buy something else to extend your capabilities :-)
While I will admit that many of my shots with the 16-50 seem
to be taken at 50mm, there are a good number of them taken at
30 or 31mm (maybe I need the 31mm limited?), and quite a few
at 34 or 35mm. Other focal lengths get used less often, but
I do seem to be covering most of the range.
Similarly, with my 80-200, there are a lot at 200, but also
a fair number at intermediate focal lengths.

The thought did cross my mind too Bob, could do marginally more damage

"Anyone have experience with this lens?"
Comments from users all seem favorable. (This is mainly at dpreview, so
the standards are not exacting.) As an alternative to a 600 mm. prime
(many thousands of $$) it seems to give satisfactory value for the
money. On Pentax it would AF with the shaft drive.

Subject: All Good Things
Message-ID: <20080901213115.233751547@smtp.mac.com>
Hello list.
Well, would you believe it, it's almost ten years to the day when I
joined this list. I had an LX and wanted to re-cell a NiCad pack for the
motor drive. Someone pointed me to Rob Studdert's page and the rest, as
they say, is history.
Since that time there's been plenty of water under the bridge. I sold
the Pentax film gear, bought into Canon with a D60, adapted some K mount
lenses to fit and been called a few names...
Everything changes, and all good things must come to an end....with
other good things starting up.
>From next week I'm putting all my Canon gear up for sale. I've decided
to buy into Sony.
Actually Sony HD ;) Not stills gear - video. I'm taking precious few
stills these days and to be honest, not enjoying it as much as I used
to. I feel a change of priorities coming on...
And so I will be concentrating more on video production, acquiring some
new gear and need to pay for it.
I'll have a list of kit up next week and of course will offer to the
PDML first, but fear not - the K15/3.5 and the A*85/1.4 in EF mount will
not be amongst them. I'm going to hang onto those and in a year or two
hope to pick up a used 1Ds mark II full-frame camera. Everything else
with Canon on it will be up for sale.
I'll keep my rangefinder and three lenses for snaps. I just won't be
photographing with a DSLR for a while. I'll keep the website going. If
it ain't broke, right...
With a bit of luck and a fair wind I can claw back about two and a half
grand (GBP) and then I'll be half-way there to funding an HD video
camera. Must be something else not nailed down around here I can sell....
Meanwhile, I'll be reducing my input into the territory somewhere below
PESO-posting but above lurking. I thought about giving it a rest here,
but to be honest, the gene pool here is well above average and the
photography one sees displayed is first rate, so I wouldn't like to lose
that. Plus I'm still up for any gatherings - UK or elsewhere. Plan on
going to GFM as well (my son insists he come along next year). The
subscription stands. Besides, I need to be there when my hat really does
end up on a plate, not that that will be anytime soon!
And so in a time-honoured tradition, from the heart of my bottom, it
only remains for me to say:
There's a penguin on the telly.
(Yes officer, I'll go quietly....)

Thanks Ken. Could be. I'll have a look at the hi-res and see if I can tell if the legs are yellow. The Sollitary Sandpiper pic looks a bit more like mine, but tis one is close as well.

and I was thinking "willet" at first glance'
I'm hunkered down in NY with a cold - haven't been able to read miuch on
list...
NOted that since one couldn't see the legs, and couldn't see the size,
kept me from putting "yellow legs" into themix
before consulting my Nation Geo book, I thought , Willet, Godwit,
dowwicher, Yellowlegs and more of thsoe confusing
birdies....
I threw out a a couple because this birdy had such a distinctive ring
around his eye with out a comet tail .
I now see that, drowsy as I am I Have to scan 2 pages of a very special
bird book... that I think many of you will
enjoy and others are probably familiar with...

Mistaken, I'm afraid: It's only available in screw-drive AF for Pentax.
Of course, that means it'll work with all AF Pentax cameras.

Never used it myself, but I've never heard a bad word about it other
than the small max aperture. Check photographyreview.com and other
review sites.

Hi Ann,
Ken came to a similar conclusion. But that Solitary Sandpiper sure looks right in his pics. I'm going to see if I can exract some leg color from the RAW. Later. Or tomorrow. Just watching my White Sox now.

Ok, but where I'm looking, they are advertising it as having the Hyper
Sonic Motor in a Pentax mount. Could be wrong or could be something new.
Either way, the bottom line is it would work with both the K10D & PZ-1p
I have now, and with a K-20D once I can afford one ??

Sigma's marketing material indicates a HSM motor, with a small print
caveat that it isn't available in Pentax or Sony mounts.

Subject: 16-50 infinity problem figured out
Message-ID:
So, ever since I had my 16-50 serviced to fix the broken barrel...
it's not been able to get a focus confirmation at infinity.
I've been working around it with the AF-C option, which lets the
camera zap it to (nearly) infinity and then it just trips the shutter
because I told it to.
Well, in preparation for shooting a big concert event on Tuesday
night, I decided to put my old Katz-Eye into the K10D. I've heard
from more than one source that the DS-designed Katz-Eye underexposes
on the K10D but I'll be shooting manual exposure all tomorrow night so
exposure issues don't bug me as much as getting the proper focus.
Interesting bit I've noticed now that I have a microprism/split prism
focus confirmation guide on the screen is that the darned thing CANNOT
focus on infinity. I can get very very close, but any vertical
fenceposts or other obvious focus-confirmation guidelines show me that
I can get the lens to ALMOST get to the infinity mark, but not quite
there.
(sigh)
So, the obvious reason for not getting a focus confirmation lock on
infinity is that the lens cannot get that far. As the warranty
repair of the barrel states that the repairs/adjustments are warranted
for a year, it's time to send the sucker back. Even when mounted on
my ME-Super I can see that the lens does not quite get to the infinity
spot. Heck, if this wasn't still under warranty I'd figure out how
to adjust it myself - but shoot, how can someone MISS something this
obvious when servicing a lens???
My oft-repeated mantra: "I just want people to do their jobs". I'm a
little bit more than annoyed that Pentax service let the lens come
back to me with such an obvious mis-adjustment. Such is life, I
suppose.

Agreed. I have an A-28 and it's pretty good for when i don't want the
size/weight of a zoom. And it only cost me $90! An FA-28 can be had
for less than $150 if you look around.

Hi Charles, Bob, John Francis, & gldnbearz: Yes, the 28mm tip is a point
well taken. When I looked at Lightroom (as I mentioned before) I noticed a
lot of my shots were in & around the 28mm area when shooting with the DA
16-45mm. I'd love to start looking at used equipment, but truth be told,
I'm not confident in my skills in assessing used equipment at all. I
suppose with more experience I'll get better at this. Big Thanks, Christine

Hahaha...
Thanks John. I'm really fine. I got that bug early in the season so as
to get it out of the way & I've been sweet as ever since.
I was just trying to get some chatter going.
I think our northern friends are trying to make the most of the nice
weather while they have any left :-)

Hector owns a Mexican bulk food store in Toronto's culturally diverse
Kensington Market neighbourhood. His store is a regular stop for us
to stock up on dried beans, legumes, nuts, that sort of thing. While
we're there we always grab a churros (or two!), a wonderful donut-like
confection that puts Tim Horton's to shame.

That's beautiful, Bob! The "latticework" of shadows at the bottom of

Absolutely not. Where did you get that crazy idea? From the Kernerman

et cetera

To Ken -
I like the crane a lot although I'd take down the brightness a bit...
and even though
the 3 tiny white specks may actually be there, I'd take them out... they
look like dust even if not...
I take out specks that size in stuff I do even if they were "really there" .
I've been shooting a lot with my darkside camera at 1600... wish I could
go to 3200.
seems to me there is no reason for shots like this lose nothing from the
graininess of
the settings you are using...
to Dave
I'm guess it would , too :-)
to Jack -- I like the graininess vis a vis the bokeh..

FWIW, I like it.
Certainly not your usual fare, but it's a different and interesting

UGh! did I mention I was drowsy and nursing a cold? what the hell did I

self translation -- seems to me there is no reason for not shooting
things like this that way.... they lose nothing
from the appearance of graininess and often make it look nicer... I'm
really not into super sharp unless it is

I think that lens and the 21mm limited pancake and I'd have everything I need.
Okay, the fisheye zoom, I'd like that too.
And one more dslr body (preferably another *istD for consistency, but
I'm already in negotiations wrt that one).
I'm a man of simple needs.
Terrific gallery, Derby!

Dave,
Those IR shots are really eye catching.
The change from dark green to a light color changes the composition a lot.
Very nice work and anticipation of what you had.

Thanks Frank.
I had to really hunt for that shot, alot of trees on the bank, and no
real place to get past them with out ending up in the pond.
The G3 makes this a bit easier to handle, so it has to take some of
the credit.:-0

Thanks Bob.
It really makes a big difference in having the live view of the G3
showing you what the shot will look like.
Helps in placing shadows and such.

what's a G3?
I discovered a use for live view this weekend that I haven't heard
mentioned before. If your camera can show the histogram on the live
view screen, then as you alter the exposure manually or using AE, the
histogram also moves, so you have a better idea of where your exposure
is going before you take the picture. I think that's pretty cool.

I bought a converted Canon G3 at the beginning of June. It came with a
preset WB which works ok, but i set the camera to shoot B&W and in the
live view i can see exactly how the shot will look in IR, the whites,
darks etc.
I shoot it in Av mode at F8 with +0.5 EV. Then a gentle nudge in LR
and its done.

I doubt that you'll do anything quietly, but that's another story altogether!
Glad to hear you'll still be around (sort of), and hopefully if I get
my crap together, I'll see you (and Stefan) @ GFM @!

I sometimes called him "Wilbur." With his droopy eyes and long face,
he looked like a Wilbur. Marlene, who nursed him through puppydom,
called him "Wee." My mom -- great, great grandma -- who came to know
him as both she and he were living their last days, called him "Old
Sock," And he dutifully sat by her side as she ate, knowing that she
would share her meals with him, no matter how hard we tried to
persuade her otherwise. When he had the opportunity, he would sneak
into her room and lay at her feet. He loved us all very much, but his
last and most obvious love was Grace. He didn't like it when someone
tried to move him by tugging on his collar, but he let Grace move him
by tugging on his hair. He followed her as she played and smiled
contentedly as she rode him, sat on him, and slept on him.
Several months ago, he became ill. He soldiered on, and we did what
we could to comfort him. But this weekend his burden grew too large
for even this big-hearted dog to bear, and this morning he went to
sleep for the last time. Willy was a good dog, and a good dog is one
of the best things that one can be.

Cotty, I think you really excel in anything related to imagery, moving,
still or otherwise. But you ought to stay on the list, you know.
You still owe us a visit, you know ;-).

Another of my girlfriend's Pentax photos (with my Pentax, of course!) ;-)
I'm going to post this in the context of her daily photoblog. Each
day she posts a captioned photo and adds a pithy quote by someone
famous (or not so famous, but at least it's pithy).
I think it's a fabulous format, something I've not seen on other photoblogs.
You really should click on the photo to enlarge it to get it's full
effect. Hanging around with me has obviously had it's effects: it's
soft and tilted (but I think it's really cool)...

Comments/critiques are appreciated.
On behalf of Judy, thanks!
cheers,
frank

Frank,
Tell her it's very nice the way the blue frames the subject.
I'd like to see down to the bottom of the drumstick cooler,
and maybe the curve of the counter top too.
Otherwise, a fine 'still life'.

sounds good :-D will it be stored at pdml.net? that could cost a
